class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-the-cloud-governance\">What is the Cloud Governance ?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Cloud Governance is a framework that guides how end users make use of cloud services by defining and creating policies to control costs, minimize security risks, improve efficiency and accelerate deployment. It\u2019s imperative to have good cloud governance because it\u2019s a foundational element to your cloud practice that provides the ability to scale and be successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, the governance in Azure is one aspect of Azure Management. This includes the tasks and processes required to maintain your business applications and the resources that support them. Azure has many services and tools that work together to provide complete management.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-you-can-do-with-azure-governance\">What you can do with Azure Governance?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Enforce and audit your policies for any Azure service<\/li><li>Create compliant environments using Azure Blueprints, including resources, policies, and role-access controls<\/li><li>Ensure that you\u2019re compliant with external regulations by using built-in compliance controls<\/li><li>Monitor spend and encourage accountability across your entire organization<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The references below are taken from official Microsoft docs and focused on designing Azure governance solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/azure\/cloud-adoption-framework\/govern\/methodology\/?WT.mc_id=AZ-MVP-5004750\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/csharpcorner-mindcrackerinc.netdna-ssl.com\/article\/build-enterprise-agile-azure-governance-foundation\/Images\/Build%20Enterprise%20Agile%20Azure%20Governance%20Foundation.jpg\" alt=\"Build Enterprise Agile Azure Governance Foundation\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"part-1-design-a-governance-solution\">Part 1: Design a governance solution<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The references below are taken from official Microsoft docs and focused on designing Governance solutions in Azure.
